April is National Poetry Month, and at JSTOR, we celebrate the boundless creativity that poetry inspires across various forms of expression. 🎨 📜

This month, we highlight the seamless blend of visual art and verse, featuring stunning prints by William Blake from The Metropolitan Museum of Art's open collection. Blake's work exemplifies the powerful synergy between poetry and imagery, reminding us that words and art are profoundly interconnected.

Images: William Blake. Songs of Innocence: Spring. [1789] printed ca. 1825. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

William Blake. Songs of Experience: The Tyger. [1794] printed ca. 1825. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

William Blake. Songs of Experience: The Angel. [1794] printed ca. 1825. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

William Blake. Songs of Innocence: The Lamb. [1789] printed ca. 1825. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

I hope this grief stays with me. Because it's all the unexpressed love that I didn't get to tell.

[k.b. // andrew garfield [losing his mother]

I see you lingering in the clouds

I see you lingering in the clouds so high As we marveled in the summer sky I see you in the dew that graced the dawn Covering spiderwebs on the lawn This is all that's left, just enough to be, Just enough for me to continue to see ~ Midnight Sun

for the hell of it (for the plot). a poem.

i see your ghost everywhere I go an empty seat in the back of my car missing from your spot on the couch in my house in my heart i see you fade in and out of being flicker in my eyes, taunting me sometimes I pretend you're there i smile toward the seat in the back of my car but it always fades because there's little to smile at when you're no more than a ghost a flickering memory and an ache in my heart -k.c.

and as requested, tagging @wistfulenchantress , @gardenofrunar , @justyourlocaldisaster

“it will happen. everything you know you deserve will happen. and when it does, all those bad feelings and bad experiences won’t matter anymore. you will completely forget and forgive. and all of that heaviness will wash away in the shore.” - r.m. drake

Stressors, smoking guns

building up to fire

once more.

I cannot hold

the universe

in my hands

without shaking.

I suppose it's all

life

anyway and that

I'll make it

in spite of

the natural disasters

within.

Robert J. W.

proliferating weeds sprout

from cracks in the pavement,

much like the invisible tendrils

which branch out from my heart.

they feel out, grasping for

attention, for interaction, for any

semblance of human attachment.

call it greed, call it selfish,

call it love.

say what you wish:

"another person

can't bring you joy."

i don't mind;

i am desperate to conjoin

two halves of a whole.

"half and half."

d.b.a

To Be Changed

To allow yourself to be loved is to morph into wet clay, soft and malleable, quick to shift shape at the lightest touch.

I was a perfectly fine sculpture with bumps and bruises and chips- imperfections that came together to tell my story.

Your touch turned my hardened stone to pliant clay. You flattened my bumps, sharpened my curves, smoothed over my chips. You molded me into the perfect shape, something you could find beautiful.

I became unrecognizable. You compromised the structural integrity of my design. You created bumps of your own and chips to match, until I needed your hands to hold myself up.

When you were done playing with wet clay, you dropped your hands that held my shape, and allowed me collapse in on myself.

Love was convincing, pushed me to morph into what you wanted to see.

To be loved is to be changed, and I hate the way you loved me.

Just like any other day

And this day, like any other, seems, When happiness lingered in my dreams Family moments, a nostalgic view, Sensitivity returns, emotions anew Cherry blossoms I'd pick each morn, Greeting the world as a new day is born Today's sun and air, reminiscently, Echo the past's familiar glee Even the lit cigarette in the crowd, Among those I once avowed, Like a twist of fate and joy it seems, All remembered in tranquil dreams A pinkish glow, reminiscent and tender, Recalls serene days in splendor That beautiful summer of old, Though now it makes me feel cold And when night falls, as it must, All turns into memories, lost in dust To forget, such is my fate, Living through the lens of forgetfulness, innate ~ Nihil Novi

Grief is everywhere. It's its own being. It walks beside you silently, jumps out at you meanly, pokes you awake at night. It makes tears roll down your cheeks at a blue sky.

Deb Caletti, A Heart in a Body in the World
